Robert Englund Returns As Freddy Krueger In New Film
Robert Englund will return to the screen as Freddy Krueger in a new documentary titled Nightmares in the Makeup Chair. The film, which is directed by Mike Kerz, is described by Englund as his “love letter to the Nightmare on Elm Street series and to practical makeup.” The documentary is also a tribute to the late West Craven, who wrote and directed the first and seventh films in the iconic series.
Wes Craven introduced the world to Freddy Kruger in his 1984 film A Nightmare on Elm Street.
According to “legend,” Freddy Krueger was a serial killer, whose victims were primarily children. Although he was eventually identified and captured, Freddy was later released due to a technicality.
As justice was not served, the community came together with a plan to avenge the deaths of the children and punish Freddy Krueger for his heinous crimes.
After cornering the man in a basement boiler room, where he reportedly killed his victims, the angry mob burned the building to the ground. Although Freddy was declared dead, his wicked spirit lived on as a villain who was capable of intruding into people’s dreams and killing them in their sleep.
As reported by IMDB, Wes Craven is credited for writing and directing the original Nightmare on Elm Street film. However, Robert Englund literally brought Freddy Krueger to life.
Between 1984 and 2005, Englund played Freddy Krueger in a total of eight Nightmare on Elm Street films and one television series. Although a remake of the original Nightmare movie was released in 2010, the new Freddy Krueger was played by Jackie Earle Haley.
